About JEANNE GADOL

Art, nature, growth and exploration are my life forces. These forces have taken me in many directions and moved my artistic expression through a variety of mediums.

Photography increases my appreciation and awareness of the world around me. Working with my photographic images to create fine digital artistry allows me to celebrate the essence of the original image(s) as I express and superimpose upon it my aesthetic and emotional reactions to it. As a painter, I work intuitively, never knowing where my painting is going but knowing when it is complete.

Although I am primarily self-taught, I have studied with and assisted National Geographic Photographer Ralph Lee Hopkins and world renowned color landscape photographer and environmental activist Robert Glenn Ketchum. I've taken painting workshops and classes with many inspiring and wonderful teachers through the years.
